 | jeffsalzensteintennis.com During the approach shot on the tennis forehand many players are taught to set their feet, hit the shot and then keep moving into the net. Does that kind of technique really work for you and your tennis forehand on the short balls? I am going to guess that you miss a lot of short balls and wonder how you can possibly sprint up, slow yourself down, set your feet, hit your shot and then keep sprinting up to the net. I am here to tell you that this technique for the tennis forehand on the short balls flat out just doesn't work. The pros are not doing this on their tennis forehand and neither should you. Take a look at Roger Federer and you will notice him moving through his tennis forehand on short balls. He does a certain footwork pattern that involves him jumping on the tennis forehand. We call this footwork pattern lift and land. You can do this pattern on both the tennis forehand and backhand side. What you want to do is step in, hit the ball and jump up in the air. This will keep you moving forward on the tennis forehand. Moving forward will help you get to the net faster and cover the passing shot. Next time you are hitting your tennis forehand and get a short ball, try the lift and land footwork pattern. The main idea is to move through the short ball on the tennis forehand instead of stopping yourself to hit the shot. Let me know how this footwork patterns helps out your tennis forehand! http | From: TennisCoachTV Views: 5897  12 ratings |
